Assignment_Week5

The Syoban Action is an imitation of the style of Super Mario Bros, and contain similar elements too. That’s why, the players tend to play the game based on their experience of Super Mario Bros, but Syoban Action tricks the player into many traps, and abuse their previous knowledge of Super Mario Bros. Gameplay, many of normal-looking objects suddenly kill the character, such as normal-looking ground tiles that fall away into pits, normal blocks fall down, blocks that sprout spikes when touched, enemies suddenly show up to take by surprise and attack when the character go over certain points. However, the traps don’t change even though how many times the players play. Thus, for completing the game, the players need to expect to memorize all of the traps based on the location. Basically, Syoban Action failed to come up to the players’ expectations on purposely, even used their expectations to trick.
